Fine Vegetable Soup

Put on two pound of fresh beef, or a good-sized chicken, or ham bone if you have it, early in the morning. Put your boiler on filled with water. Keep boiling, and when boiled down, about one hour or more before dinner, add: Grated lemon peel. 6 ears corn. 1 dozen good tomatoes. Beans. 1 small head of cabbage. A few Irish potatoes. Sweet herbs, pepper and salt to the taste. A few leaves of dried sassafras rubbed up will improve the taste. Serve hot with toast, a small quantity of sugar and vinegar. Boil till thick.--Mrs. Dr. L.
